Ex-Page Three model Samantha Fox is still married to her Norwegian wife Lina Olsen - despite a drunken bust-up on a British Airways flight from Heathrow to Munich which forced it to abandon take-off.

The glamour model and popstar, 57, appeared in court today to deny assaulting Ms Olsen on board the plane.

Fox threatened a police officer when she was arrested and spent a night in a prison cell after the chaos erupted on December 3 last year. 

Appearing at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court, Fox admitted drunk and disorderly behaviour and using threatening behaviour, causing harassment, alarm or distress to Police Constable Ashley Smith.

However, she denied an assault by beating charge against Linda Olsen, her wife whom she married in 2022. She will stand trial at the same court on September 2.

Fox was hit by tragedy last year when her sister Vanessa suddenly died of a heart attack.

She met wife Olsen a year after the death of her former partner, Myra Stratton.

Following the bust-up, the BA plane was turned around and holidaymakers were forced to disembark as a result of the airport's strict 10pm closing time.

Passengers were put up in a hotel as a result before continuing their journey the following day.

Fox appeared at court today wearing a black blazer, a white top and carrying a handbag.

She started dating Olsen in 2016, a year after the death of Fox's former partner Myra Stratton from cancer.

The former glamour model, who suffered a cancer scare herself two years ago after finding a lump in her vocal cords, announced in 2018 she had finally found love again with the Norwegian single mother-of-two. 

The couple got married in a lavish Eurovision Song Contest-themed ceremony at the Kings Oak Hotel in Epping Forest, Essex, in June 2022, and Fox later revealed they didn't see each other the night before the big day.

She arrived at the ceremony in a white taxi decorated with pink ribbons and a stunning blush heart-shaped floral arrangement on the bonnet, while the number plate read 'Sam and Linda are getting married, 18th June 2022'. 

They were forced to postpone their 2020 wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The former model was given away by her mother Carole and stepfather Colin, who walked her down the aisle on crutches after recently breaking his femur. 

Fox previously spoke about her relationship with Olsen after she left the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017. 

'I've now [fallen] in love with another woman,' she said.

'I met somebody a couple of months ago and I'm very happy. As you get older life goes so quick.'

She also discussed her sexuality whilst inside the house, and said she hadn't fallen in love with a woman until she met Myra.

Fox said: 'I just believe that love is far greater than anything. You can't help who you fall in love with.

'If you fall in love with somebody, you fall in love with them. You can't help that can you.'

Fox is due to stand trial on September 2.

Fox has had a string of famous ex's before her marriage to Olsen, including serial swindler Peter Foster.

Foster convinced Fox to publicly support his 'weight loss' tea in the UK in the 1980s and the pair commenced a relationship.

Fox, who has also dated Kiss guitarist and lead singer Paul Stanley and Spanish bullfighter Rafi Comino, said Foster proposed but she turned him down.

Foster cheated on the model and sold the story of their sex life to a tabloid newspaper.

'My parents had split and here was a man who was clever, manipulative and domineering,' Fox once said. 'I came close to marrying him because I was so vulnerable.'

Years after their split Foster suggested that he and Fox make a movie about their lives together but she declined through her lawyer.

'I'm old enough now to know that I'd never be taken in again by the likes of Peter Foster,' Fox told The Guardian in 2002. 'But then, I was 22 and impressionable.'
